He deserves it and more. Dude is going to ball in the NFL. Make that money, G!

 

[For_The_U]

Ended up being a great story. And it seems taking the year off last season worked out after all. We better hope Nesta is ready to step up as we are going to miss Willis bigtime!

 

[DTP]

He's not 285 anymore either. Closer to 300 lbs. Middle of the first round.

Polite is probably going top 10 and he's ranked 26 here so yeah I wouldn't consider this Willis' ceiling.

 

[Go Canes!!]

He’s the best defensive player we’ve had here in a decade or more.

But his off the field stuff may cause him to slide.

 

[Home Slice]

STUD!

Gotta see how it shakes out but Willis could end up going before Ed Oliver

Love G but there's no way. Saying Ed could be the number 1 overall pick.

That kid is a beast, unblockable at times

He didnt take leave of absence at uf. And the dude has been at miami for 4 years and they keep saying a uf transfer.

There are a few red flags on Oliver:
-great first step but not a great finisher or great hand usage
-may be much smaller than listed
-coddled (his position coach was his old HS coach)
-character (yelling match w Applewhite)
-entitlement (declaring before junior season, skipping bowl)

He will be a good pro, and obviously Willis has his own red flags, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Oliver drop out of the top 15

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Someone’s getting a steal ... we all rag on richt but you know if he had a turnaround under richt then his character isn’t really questionable

 

[LuCane]

This guy should be a model to so many recruits and players. Couldn't be more excited for him.

 

[CaneFanWNY]

If Minnesota can somehow draft this savage..

 

[tcgrad1014]

Willis should skip the Pinstripe Bowl.

 

[BeachCanes]

Polite playing OLB in a 3-4 defense would be nasty.

 

[305to954]

Dead *** Willis should be a top 15 pick. Playmaking DTs ..there are so few. If he test well as a athlete..in 5 years I see him making a probowl

Whenever the Dolphins have a glaring need and the Hurricanes provide a solution, the always seem to pass (inexplicably). Yes the Dolphins need a QB but if they draft ANY other position outside of QB and pass on Willis it will be a huge mistake. They desperately need a DT and this kid would walk in and solve that day 1.

Exactly. It has been this way for so long. The rest of the league gets fat on UM players while the Dolphins ignore the guys in their own backyard and pick the first available dude from Notre Dame, Penn State, or Ohio State*.
